London Bazars in "the Season."

Bazars in London have developed
amazingly of late years. There is no
doubt that they present considerable at
fractions to ''frisky matrons, and to
Young ladies who have any themselves.
Fashionable beauties play the part of
shop-women, conceiving that they are
LAYING up treasures in heaven, when in
reality they are showing themselves to
fresh audiences, and seeking excitement
in license of manners that is not per-
Missile on other occasions. As the
virtuous object of the bazar elevates it
above the laws of supply and demand,
its success depends chiefly upon the
personal efforts of these saleswomen,
who have to tease and wheedle visitors
into buying. Anything, therefore, I'M
usual, conspicuous, or violent IN the APP
pearance or manners of a person who
keeps a stall tends to attract buyers, the
result being an increasing extravaganza
of dress and demeanor at these exhibit
tons. For similar reasons it has been
the custom of late years TO give bazars
particular cast, supported by scenery
and fancy dress. Thus you have the
Medieval Market where ladies in
peaked caps and turned-up shoes dis
play modern manners and wares in
incidentally shaped stalls. Or the Shak-
spearian Bazaar. where Portia sells pin
cushions and Cleopatra "button-holes."
One must not. then, be surprised if. for
the sake of drawing" there is shortly
an antediluvian bazar, where our beau
ties, in the costume of their remote an
cestresses, will sell knickknacks amongst
megatheriums and tin tree-ferns. Be
sides the aforementioned methods of
attraction, the more novelty that can be
displayed in the way of goods, or in the
system of selling them, the greater the
chance of success. Dressed-up children
worry old gentlemen to rattle for a doll.
Fascinating beauties force cups of tea
down the throats of passers-by. Still
more adventurous members of the same
class tell fortunes and disagreeable
truths in the guise of wizards, or play
on the banjo and send round the hat.
Every possible device is resorted to for
drawing buyers. Celebrated actresses
hold stalls. Chinese operas are given
by native artists. The greatest comp OF
all, however, is when royalty is gracious
enough to assist al one of these sales.
Desire to do the ri~ht thing among the
upper, and the good old-fashioned loyal
ty OF the middle class, bring vast
throng round the royal counter -Har-
Der'S MuqaziRc for Man.

A CHEAT MISTAKE

has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralgia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part of thousands of sufferers
to find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous so-called remedies. 10
such AthIophoros is offered as a safe, sure,
and quick cure Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet it is not surprising be-
cause it will do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros Co. will gladly refer any
who desire to make an investigation to re-
liable parties who have been cured by 1t.
Mrs. D. c. Pickett, Columbus, Wis, says:

so badly afflicted. The disease was in
every nerve and muscle of my body; was
completely Frustrated and helpless for four
weeks; | could not bear to be touched as
even the weight of finger would cause
the greatest pain, and l was in constant
dread of its getting into the heart, in fact
it bordered very close to it, and the doctor
had very grave doubts as TO my getting

of medicines, but was recommended to try

me. Oh, how sick it made me, and had it

that l kept on with it: In about five days |

NAPOLEON.

from Mime. Durand's "Reminiscences.
Three days after the Act of Abdica-
ton was 81 gned at Fontainebleau, a
thrilling incident occurred.
At the period of the retreat from
Moscow, Napoleon had secured means
to avoid falling alive into the hands
of his enemies in case of accident. He
had procured through his servant
IVAN a satchet, which he wound round
his neck during the time that the dan
ger lasted. Some said this was opium
while others insisted that it was pre-
paration compounded by the celebrated
Cabanie. and the same with which
Candorcet, the deputy, had destroyed
himself Whatever it was, Napoleon
had preserved this satchet in one of
the secret drawers of travelling dress
ing case which he always took on his
campaigns. That night at Fontaine-
bleau he bethought him that the mo-
ment to have recourse to this terrible
expedition had arrived. One of the
Wallets, whose bed was placed behind
his half-opened door, had heard him
rise, and seen him stir something into
a coffee cup, drink it and lie down
again. In short time violent pains
in the stomach and bowels forced from
Napoleon the admission that he was
dying. Then the man took upon him
self to send for those who were most
intimate with the emperor. IVAN was
not forgotten, and when he learned
what had happened and heard Napo-
leon complain that the action of the
poison was not sufficiently rapid he
lost his head and rushed away from
Fontainebleau After a long swoon,
followed by protuse Precipitation,
the pains ceased and the alarming
symptoms disappeared, either because
the dose had been insufficient, or be
cause the poison had lost its effect
through time 1t is said that Napole
on, astonished to find himself still
alive, reflected for few minutes and
then exclaimed: God does not will
it to be-" and yielding himself into the
hands Of Providence, who had just
saved his life, resigned himself to his
new destinies.

Famous English Clocks.

Those who have heard Peter of York
announce that midnight has come are
not likely to forget the deep and thrilling
resonance that fills the air and booms
over the silent city. This bell weighs
twelve tons and q half and cost $4,000.
1t was second to none in this kingdom
till Big Ben was set up at Westminster

Thames. Great Tom o'Lincoln is
another bell of greatreputation. 1t was
recast in 1885, and on its return from
the White-chapel foundry it was well
coined home by a procession of clergy,
gentry, and citizens. with banners fly
ing and bands playing at the south en-
trance tn the city. 1t is six feet high
and nearly seven feet in diameter and
weighs five tons and eight hundred
weight. lis tone is also of an extra
ordinary fullness, richness, and sweet
ness, especially when heard in the dead
of the night And in the north trausept
OF Wells cathedral there is a clock in
which there is sufficient eccentric me-
chanism TO enable a small figure of
man to step forward periodically and
proclaim the time. The Qairer.

The Arab Soldier.

The Arab looks very well on horse
back though he might not altogether
suit the taste of the shires. His saddle
is generally red, peaked before and be-
hind, and placed upon several colOred
felt saddle cloths; the stirrup broadens
out SO as to give a wide space for the
foot to rest on; it is pointed at the cor
ners. thereby enabling the rider 20 tear
the horse ribs even without the aid of
pointed stick or steel spear-like spur
which he often pushes in between his
slipper and the stirrup side The Arab
soldier, with his white burnous fiutter-
inc behind him, bis high red saddle
and saddle cloths, his knees high and
body bent forward, with his long silver
mounted gun Furnishing in the air,
looks, as he gallops forward in cloud
OF dust, the very embodiment of the
picturesque, exultant war spirit of past
ages, not sobered down by scientific
formulas for murder, but free to carry
out his own bloodthirsty purposes with
as much swagger and ostentation as
possible. As a horseman, | believe the
Asab to have an excellent seat but an
execrable hand: he loves to keep his
beasts head high in the air, and so he
ceaselessly joggles at the bit, upon
which he always rides, until one won
ders how the wretched brute can put his
feet safely down; yet he does somehow.
No one rides camels in this country.
but the Sultan is said to have some very
fleet dromedaries capable of doing mar
Vicious journeys, and, of course, in those
parts of Morocco which merge into the
Sahara the camel is indispensable The
Barbary donkey is short-legged, long
suffering, indispensable beast. 1t is
easy to comprehend the ass existing
without Tangier, but it is impossible to
conceive Tangier existing without the
ass; his patient little body bears every
possible burden, from the foreign Minis

the pack with great dignity, and, pre-
coded by her Moorish soldier, pays calls
upon other Ministers wives, to the latest
thing in iron bedsteads to be sold in the

The GAMING MANIA.-It is not new
but its still instructive. Not that in

thousand years ago for money. and [
dare say the mercenaries of ancient
Carthage shook dice for the remunera-

Poker was known by another name,

army anted up in their camp in the
warm Assyrian night; and while

CHEsTNUTs.-A suburban gentleman
says, apropos of the chestnut: He was
sitting in his library the other day,
eating some chestnuts, when a book
agent was ushered iii. The smooth
tongued canvasser opened his book,
and as he was rafting on at a rapid
rate the gentleman, to show his hospi-
tality, pushed the dish Of nuts toward
him, with the remark to help himself.
To his great astonishment-for he
was unmindful of the Interpretation
that might be placed upon the act
the agent stopped, gathered up his
books, and shot from the door, only
saying:

man to shut up"

Nor far from Aleppo is situated the
little town of Orah (the accent Ur of the
Chaldees), which is of great historical
interest, it having been the birthplace of
the patriarch Abraham. There are few
Jews in the place, but the Arabs still
point out a small building lying outside
the town which they declare to be the
house wherein Abraham first saw the
light, and which they therefore term
Belt ell Chalil (the house of the friend of
Cod. 1t is most improbable that the
actual house should have stood for thous-
ands of years, but the building in ques-
ton is of great antiquity. By its present
owner, an Arab peasant, as well as hy
the Arabs generally, it is held in the ut
most veneration-the more so since it is
feared that within few years it will fall
to the ground.-Jet0ish Chronicle.

Most of us, says the London IHus-

American who, visiting some provincial
museum on the continent, was shown a
rusty blade which, he was assured, was
the identical knife used by the brave
Charlotte when she finished the blood
thirsty Jean Paul. "Where's the fork?"
asked the American. He must have
been twin brother to, if not the self
same American globetrotter of whom |
heard lately at Candy, in Ceylon. He
was visiting a Buddhist temple, and
the priests showed him lamp in which

FARM NOTES.

1t is not good policy to dry hay to
brlttleness before drawing it from the
meadow, for that causes waste in hand
ling and reduces quality. Grass is we'll
cured when it will rattle lightly in the
handling, and then is the time to store it.
Blue grass has the advantage of not
running out as long as receives a top
dressing of manure annually. It does
best On limestone soils, but is grown in
nearly all sections. Orchard grass is a
variety that gives early pasturage, and
can be grown where many other grasses
will not flourish.
The yield of alsike generally disap-
points the expectations of those who look
at it while growing. Its stalks are fine,
and do not weigh in proportion to their
bulk, as they are harsh and lie loosely.
1t is good crop to SOW with the COM
mon red clover, as it will fill in spaces
where the old fashioned clover fails to
catch.
Cows need light, not only for their own
health ano comfort, but because good
butter can not be made from the milk of
COWS kept IN dark stables. Air, light,
cleanliness and warmth are four essentials
of a cow stable where COWS are kept for
profit.
